This will probably be a recurring thought.
The area where I grew up:
- Still not even 40% vaccination rate among those eligible. [They only broke 30% in July. It’s not lack of availability of the vaccine holding things back, either.]
- 1.7% of the county population actively infected at the moment
- 15.8% of the county population has been infected
- 1 in 270 residents dead (and this will continue to increase)
- CFR: 2.6% (carried out to the entire county, that would be almost 1,000 dead)
- Schools reporting increasing numbers of staff sick, some critically sick
- Schools also reporting a lack of available substitute teachers or bus drivers, with the threat that classes may need to be doubled up for lack of people available to teach bus routes may need to be dropped for lack of available drivers
- Major regional hospitals saying “our ICU is booked up, we’re out of room” and it’s starting to impact health care in general.
But yes, please, continue to harp on about how a mask on your kid infringes on your patriotic freedoms and continue to show up at every public meeting demanding those in charge stand up to the tyrrany of the government. Or, shut the fuck up and put a goddamn mask on already. Or, go catch COVID and die already so the rest of us can move on in a productive way without you retarding progress.
The ones I really want to throat punch are those that complain about their kids being “traumatized” by wearing a mask but overlook how upsetting active shooter drills are in schools.

My neighbour leaves his dog on the front porch for long stretches of time and it barks its fool head off. I’ve heard other neighbours shouting at the dog.

I’m annoyed that the post office left a note on the door yesterday saying “we couldn’t deliver your packages, because no one was home to sign for them”. My husband and I were both home. I might have still been “at” my Yom Kippur zoom service, but my husband was sitting in his office, right next to the front door. He probably heard the postman’s footsteps. He would certainly have heard a knock, or the doorbell.
I went to the post office today to pick them up, and all the free parking was taken.
In the not-annoyed category, the parking officer was there, and he was warning people parking in the pay spaces that they had to pay to park there, and carefully explaining which spaces are free for 30 minutes, and which ones are paid commuter parking. He also told me that he wasn’t enforcing the parking rules in the space I parked in, because it looks like it’s one of the free spaces, even though it technically isn’t. (And, he went on, because the commuter parking, which used to be in high demand, is now mostly empty most of the day, so it makes sense to give people the benefit of the doubt.) He also warned me that he works 3 days a week, and his colleague, who does enforcement the other two days, IS ticketing those spots. Hey, a helpful, friendly public servant who is trying to do what’s right. Win.

Didn’t you have an issue last year with watching the driver pull into your driveway and not get out of the vehicle when it was raining and then claim they couldn’t deliver because you weren’t home?
I can’t remember if that was USPS or some other outfit though (Amazon, UPS…)
I did. That wasn’t USPS, I think it was Amazon, but might have been UPS. I do have a non-trivial walk from the driveway to the front door, but the USPS person STUCK THIS PIECE OF PAPER ON MY FRONT DOOR. I mean, seriously, how much harder could it possibly have been to ring the bell. Or in the off chance that didn’t work, to then try knocking.
(People routinely ring the doorbell, and I’m never had anyone complain about it not working. But giving the benefit of the doubt…)

Disappointed it wasn’t a Tiffany Lamp.

I only WISH those were nice.
For a second I thought maybe we grew up in the same place, but my home county’s vaxx rate is up to 45% of eligible, so I guess not!
Throw it some rotisserie chicken

That would keep the dog quiet for 30-360 seconds depending on the quantity thrown.
Get a sedative from the vet and throw that to the dog.
(I kid, I kid.)

Lack of punctuation makes this confusing.
I THINK it means you wish the lamp you ordered was of the Tiffany sort because they were nice.
As written you seem to really WISH the lamps were nice, and for some reason aren’t.

How freaking long does it take SAS to export 15 million records? This is 2021, isn’t that supposed to be instantaneous by now?

As written is what I meant. Tiffany lamps are objectively ugly, but it they weren’t, nothing but Tiffany lamps up in here.
You talkin’ to ME!? I only work here man.
